6Corfu: The Emerald Isle
Corfu, nestled in the Ionian Sea, is a lush paradise known for its verdant landscapes and Venetian charm. Unlike the arid beauty of the Cyclades, Corfu is covered in olive groves, cypress trees, and rolling hills.
The island’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of narrow streets, pastel-colored buildings, and elegant squares. Highlights include the Old Fortress, Spianada Square, and the Liston promenade. For nature lovers, Paleokastritsa offers stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, while Mount Pantokrator provides panoramic views of the island and beyond.
